Remarks of President Barack Obama

Weekly Address

The White House

October 15, 2011

Im here in Detroit visiting workers at a GM plant in the heart of a resurgent American auto

industry. And I brought a guest with mePresident Lee of South Korea.

Were here because this week, Congress passed landmark trade agreements with countries like

Korea, and assistance for American workers that will be a big win for our economy.

These trade agreements will support tens of thousands of American jobs. And well sell moreFords, Chevys and Chryslers abroad stamped with three proud words Made in America.

So it was good to see Congress act in a bipartisan way on something that will help create jobs ata time when millions of Americans are out of work and need them now.

But thats also why it was so disappointing to see Senate Republicans obstruct the AmericanJobs Act, even though a majority of Senators voted yes to advance this jobs bill.

We cant afford this lack of action. And there is no reason for it. Independent economists saythat this jobs bill would give the economy a jumpstart and lead to nearly two million new

jobs. Every idea in that jobs bill is the kind of idea both parties have supported in the past.


3/23

The majority of the American people support the proposals in this jobs bill. And they wantaction from their elected leaders to create jobs and restore some security for the middle class

right now. You deserve to see your hard work and responsibility rewardedand you certainlydeserve to see it reflected in the folks you send to Washington.

But rather than listen to you and put folks back to work, Republicans in the House spent the pastcouple days picking partisan ideological fights. Theyre seeing if they can roll back clean air andwater protections. Theyre stirring up fights over a womans right to make her own health care

choices. Theyre not focused on the concrete actions that will put people back to work rightnow.

Well, were going to give them another chance. Were going to give them another chance to

spend more time worrying about your jobs than keeping theirs.

Next week, Im urging Members of Congress to vote on putting hundreds of thousands of

teachers back in the classroom, cops back on the streets, and firefighters back on the job.

And if they vote no on that, theyll have to tell you why. Theyll have to tell you why teachersin your community dont deserve a paycheck again. Theyll have to tell your kids why they

dont deserve to have their teacher back. Theyll have to tell you why theyre againstcommonsense proposals that would help families and strengthen our communities right now.

In the coming weeks, well have them vote on the other parts of the jobs billputting

construction workers back on the job, rebuilding our roads and bridges; providing tax cuts forsmall businesses that hire our veterans; making sure that middle-class families dont see a tax

hike next year and that the unemployed and our out-of-work youth have a chance to get back inthe workforce and earn their piece of the American Dream.

Thats whats at stake. Putting people back to work. Restoring economic security for the middleclass. Rebuilding an economy where hard work is valued and responsibility is rewardedan

economy thats built to last. And Im going to travel all over the country over the next fewweeks so that we can remind Congress thats their job. Because theres still time to create jobs

and grow our economy right now. Theres still time for Congress to do the right thing. We justneed to act.

Thank you.
